I have a consistant problem in that after a certain point, my saved games won't load and I get a CTD with no error message. I've been asking about it in the technical support forum, but I've become convinced that it's a bug issue, since up to a point, I can play, save, and reload with no problems; the problem only manifests itself after I'm a good way into a game.
I've looked in the save game files that won't load, though I wasn't really sure what I was looking for, and noticed some of the characters have 20-digit numbers for their DNA. I thought it was always supposed to be a 14-digit number. Could this be the source on the crash on loading problem that I'm experiencing? If so, is there a work around to fix this? I'm sure I could edit the save file to truncate any 20-digit DNA number to a 14-digit number, but A) I have no idea what the correct number should be for any given character, and B) there might be other bad information in the save file that I don't know about.
Castellon suggested that I ask about this in the editting forum, which I have done, but I thought I should report it here also. My game is an un-modded 1.04a, so it's not an issue of a mod causing problems, but Castellon thought the mod guys would have better insight into any problem of what might be bad info in a saved gave than he would.
BTW, there was another guy in the technical support forum who reported the same problem I'm having, that saved games crash on loading. He posted a complete save game file, and I noticed that his save also had some characters with 20-digit DNA number, but Castellon edited the post and asked that noone post saved game text files.
